Q: How do I install skill-manager?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/starchild-ai-agent/official-skills --skill skill-manager in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/skill-manager/ (personal) or .claude/skills/skill-manager/ (project).

Searching & Installing Skills

Always use the search_skills tool. Do NOT manually curl, browse GitHub, or download SKILL.md files.

search_skills does everything automatically:

Local — checks installed skills first
Official — searches Starchild official-skills index
skills.sh — searches the global skills ecosystem (OpenClaw, Vercel, Anthropic, etc.)
Auto-install — installs the best match via npx skills add (default: auto_install=true)

Usage

search_skills(query="deploy")           # search + auto-install best match
search_skills(query="trading")          # search + auto-install
search_skills(query="k8s", auto_install=false)  # search only, don't install
search_skills()                         # list all installed skills

After search_skills installs a skill, it's immediately available. Call skill_refresh() only if you manually edited skill files.

What NOT to do

Do NOT curl GitHub repos to browse/download skills
Do NOT mkdir -p skills/<name> and manually write SKILL.md
Do NOT use web_fetch to download skill files
Do NOT use the old gateway search/install endpoints (they no longer exist)
Do NOT publish skills to the community-skills registry (product offline)

Decision Tree

User wants to find/install a skill
  → Use search_skills(query) tool — it searches all sources and auto-installs
  → NEVER curl GitHub or manually download files

User wants to list installed skills
  → Use search_skills() with no query

User wants to create a new skill
  → Read the skill-creator skill first

User wants to publish a skill to community registry
  → Community Skill product is offline — do not publish
